We are so excited to announce the addition of a third cohort to our regular programming!

The Arbutus Cohort is a small group of just 12 students in Kindergarten through Grade 2. This cohort will meet at our usual location at Power To Be on Mondays and Fridays, with home learning support by our wonderful NiDES teacher, Catie.

We currently have a couple spaces still available to start this September. If this sounds like a great fit for your family, we’d love to hear from you!

Please reach out for more information. 🌱

And that’s a wrap! 🌱☀️

As we come to the end of another year at EPIC, we are so grateful for all that we have experienced on the land!

Thank you to our amazing Learning Team, our incredible site parters, Power To Be, and all our EPIC families. We can’t wait for another year of nature-filled connection and play! 🌿💚

We love springtime at EPIC! These warmer days are filled with admiring wildflowers, making maple blossom fritters, exploring new life in the meadows and wetlands, and updating nature journals with all our spring findings 🌱
